objective: this study designed to test the antibacterial potency of enrofloxacin (enr) and essential oils from zataria multiflora boiss (zeo) and trachyspermum copticum (teo)on aeromonas hydrophila. material and methods: the antibacterial potency of test compounds was determined by several methods including the inhibition zone diameter determination, microbroth dilution method and colorimetric ...

Five different antibiotic susceptibility methods were utilized to test the effectiveness of cefotetan against 200 anaerobic bacteria recovered from patients with obstetrical or gynecological infections. The object of this study was to determine if a more economical and rapid method for anaerobic susceptibility testing was as acceptable as the reference agar dilution method. The five methods wer...

OBJECTIVES To compare the agreement between microbroth dilution and agar dilution for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of Campylobacter jejuni. METHODS Utilizing commercially prepared antimicrobial panels, microbroth dilution was compared with agar dilution for determining antimicrobial susceptibility in C. jejuni isolates. To assess the performance of both techniques for ampicillin, 190 ...

A microbroth dilution method was used to measure the MICs of cefpiramide (SM 1652), cefotaxime, moxalactam, ceftazidime, cefoperazone, ceftriaxone, piperacillin, and mezlocillin against 921 isolates of gram-negative (701) and gram-positive (220) bacteria. The activity of cefpiramide was equivalent to those of piperacillin and mezlocillin against members of the family Enterobacteriaceae and gram...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Factors associated with the medium, including calcium and magnesium ion concentration and pH have been shown to affect the results of susceptibility testing but very little is known about glycosuria and the effect of glucose on the antimicrobial effect of antibiotics. In this study we assessed the influence of glucose added urine on the in vitro activities of various anti...

Twenty isolates of Mycoplasma hominis were tested for their susceptibility to six fluoroquinolones by the E test. The MICs at which 90% of the isolates were inhibited (in micrograms per milliliter) were as follows: sparfloxacin, 0.031; clinafloxacin, moxifloxacin, and trovafloxacin, 0.063; levofloxacin, 0.25; and ciprofloxacin, 0.5. Increasing the amount of inoculum or incubation in CO(2) eleva...

The aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial activities Alchemilla mollis, persica as well ellagic acid and miquelianin against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans by using microbroth dilution method anti-inflammatory activity human red blood cell (HRBC) membrane stabilization method. Microbroth used...
